Spring RTS Engine

ok i am playin SpringSP and i was just wondering if there is a way to make the AI not build nuke silos or big berthas or w/e, i want to play where u have to make huge armies to fight not a pocket army that rushes in after everything is nuked, also why does the AI keep sending a single bomber to my base, i have like 7 freedom fighters and 4 hawks cuz when it said Air GROUP i thought it was a bomber raid lol if there isnt a way to change all this then is there an AI that does this to begin with? ah and btw im using the default AIs


P.S. yea i looked in wiki and i looked in faq

first of all, learn how to use full stops properly. they go at the end of every sentence. just like this.

second of all, which spring mod are you using? and which AI? without you telling us this (or us somehow reading your mind and surviving the onslaught of the run-on sentences) we have no way of knowing how to help you.

and. this should probably be moved to HELP and bugs.

You mean PERIODS? I've never run into anyone who called them "full stops" before. I'm using version 0.75b2 and XTAv0.9, KAI is the AI. now that ive demonstrated i can type right im going to revert back to my previous style, which i am more comfortable doing

If it's not worth typing properly it's not worth reading either.

Not sure how to prevent the AI from making LRPCs or nukes except for the obvious "destroy them" solution. You can try hosting a game with the lobbby, you can disable the units you hate there.

i dont know if KAI uses attack groups. for a slightly more intelligent attacking AI, id suggest using AAI if you are just using XTA. with that you can also disable long range units (bertha, buzzsaw, etc)

It's tempting to totally ignore you and this thread from a post like that.

You should easily be able to counter nukes and berthas very easily. Build antinuke (which builds faster than nuke silo), and blow up berthas.

Update to XTA 9.1 to fix a crashbug too.

yea its easy to kill berthas and stuff but what i wanted was a huge army on army thing and geez ppl raggin on my typing, i learned how to type this way playin FPS cuz when typing in the middle of a firefight to tell people where enemies are and stuff like that, commas, apostrophes, capitalization, and proper grammer are all liabilities.

You won't earn much respect if you don't learn to type properly. Your posts are totally unreadable. Also your subject could have been more descriptive

I know how to type properly, and yes, my subject could have been a little bit more descriptive. Also, I missed a word in my first post 0_o, but thats what happens when you try to make a post on a forum, play Spring, and try to talk on the phone at the same time: Forgetfulness.

So take your time. You don't have to post within ten seconds or you will die. Why not wait until you have time to post properly?

If I'd waited till I had time to post properly I wouldn't have posted till next weekend.

How long does it take to post? I can post a fully legible post (as you just did) in well under a minute.

Are you saying you don't have a minute to spare to write a post in which you are asking for help?

That's exactly what I'm saying, I dont get much time on the computer and every minute counts, better spent playing games than on forums in my opinion. Although now I've had to take the time on the forums anyway to rectify the situation. Hindsight, as they say, is 20/20.

You obviously had time to post properly the once because you had time to post repeatedly in reply in such a short period of time.

Really, it doesn't take long to use proper grammar and punctuation, if your using a proper browser it even underlines things and gives corrections.

What's more it's more likely to get you a nice reply telling you exactly what you want. Instead most people are likely to just skip your thread entirely. Remember we don't have to help you, we're not spring developers, we're just players and forum posters. So persuade people by making it easier for us to do it, or that other guy with the nicely typed post is going to get our time instead.

This thread is going nowhere. Shall I bring out some Paul Keating-isms?

Anyway, another option is to play a mod without Berthas or nukes.

yea i know thats what im doing, Zaku spam ftw

Who calls full stops periods? thats just weird lol. Just don't play against AI they suck. Play real people on normal spring.

Calling full stops a "period" is an Americanism for anyone wondering.

uhmm, "period" is the name of the symbol 0_o "full stops" is ancient lol unless you use morse code and telegrams, THE FUTURE IS HERE PEOPLE
